The Superego
Captions available
The idea
In Freud's model, the superego holds internalized moral standards and produces guilt when they are violated.
In practice
The thought that eating the cake at all would be a failure of discipline.
Where people slip
The superego is not conscience as a faculty. It is the internalized voice of early authority in the model.
